Breanna Miranda is charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in connection to the incident. She was booked into the Harris County Jail, where her bond has been set at $20,000.
According to police, deputies with Constable Mark Herman's Office went to the report of a disturbance in Atascocita, Texas on Nov. 18. When officers arrived, they identified Miranda as the suspect.
Police say Miranda told a man he was not allowed in the story, which spurred an argument between the two. The man then broke a jar of salsa inside the store before going outside. Miranda then followed the man outside, grabbed a gun from her vehicle and went back into the store.
